Be careful; the legs are thin and could break if handled roughlyOrient the knobs vertically, resting on the collars.Print the joystick shafts horizontally, using brims. This will give more strength to the shafts and create a flat part where it touches the plate.

The shafts will clean up much nicer using this tool.Be gentle with the legs and antennae on the body.Assembly InstructionsGlue the…
